Why piperine makes the difference

Turmeric has been a firm part of Ayurvedic tradition for centuries. The problem: the body has difficulty absorbing curcumin. A large portion is excreted unused.

This is where piperine comes in. The extract from black pepper acts like a door opener and can significantly improve the bioavailability of curcumin.

Turmeric form Bioavailability
Pure turmeric 1x (baseline)
With piperine up to 20x higher

That's why GN Laboratories has enriched each capsule with 5mg of piperine. This allows your body to utilize the curcumin better.

Highly dosed: 250mg of turmeric extract per capsule

Not every turmeric capsule is the same. What matters is how much pure curcumin is actually contained. Many products use simple powder with only 3 to 5% curcuminoids.

Curcumin Plus from GN Laboratories relies on concentrated extract:

Content per capsule:

  • 250mg turmeric extract
  • 95% curcuminoids (= 237.5mg pure active ingredient)
  • 5mg piperine from black pepper
  • Plant-based capsule shell without additives

The difference compared to turmeric powder? With standardized extract, you know exactly what you're getting. No fluctuations, no uncertainty. Consistent quality in every capsule.

What is curcumin?

Curcumin is the most important active compound in the turmeric root. The rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant has been used for centuries as a spice and traditional medicinal plant. Turmeric owes its characteristic yellow color to precisely this plant compound.

In dietary supplements, curcumin is extracted from the root and concentrated. This gives you a significantly higher proportion of the valuable active compound than with simple powder. High-quality products contain standardized extracts with a curcuminoid content of 95%.

Turmeric extract vs. powder

Both forms originate from the same plant. But the difference in composition is considerable.

Turmeric powder is ground directly from the dried rhizome. It contains only about 3% curcuminoids and is especially suitable as a spice for cooking. The taste is earthy and slightly bitter.

Turmeric extract, on the other hand, is a concentrate. Through special processes, the curcumin content is increased to up to 95%. This way, you get the same amount of active compound from a small amount of extract as from large amounts of powder.

For people who want to use curcumin specifically as a dietary supplement, capsules with highly dosed extract are the more practical choice. No bitter taste, no elaborate preparation, no liquid needed.

Premium quality Made in Germany

With dietary supplements, trust matters. GN Laboratories produces in Germany and is therefore subject to strict European quality standards.

  • Manufactured in Germany
  • GMP-certified production

We at Gigas Nutrition have been working with GN Laboratories for years. Quality starts with production. Fast shipping and personal service come from us. The well-thought-out formula with high-quality ingredients comes from the manufacturer.

How to take turmeric capsules correctly

Taking them is uncomplicated. For basic supplementation, taking 2 capsules daily is recommended. If you're planning an intensive course, you can increase to 4 capsules daily.

Tip: Take the capsules with a meal containing some fat. Curcumin is fat-soluble and is absorbed even better this way. A breakfast with avocado or a salad with olive oil are ideal.

Important: Consistency beats quantity. Better 2 capsules daily over several weeks than a high dose sporadically.

The container holds 60 capsules. At 2 capsules daily, that lasts a full month.

Frequently asked questions about Turmeric Capsules with Piperine

Are the turmeric capsules vegan?
Yes, the capsule shell is made of plant-based material (HPMC). The product contains no animal ingredients and is suitable for a vegan diet.

How much turmeric should I take per day?
As a guide, 500 to 1000mg of curcumin should be taken daily. With the Curcumin Plus capsules (237.5mg curcumin per capsule) this corresponds to 2 to 4 capsules per day. Start with 2 capsules and increase as required.

Can I take turmeric capsules every day?
Yes, turmeric capsules are suitable for daily use. The combination with piperine in particular makes regular use sensible, as this constantly improves bioavailability.

How long does it take for turmeric to take effect?
Turmeric is not an acute preparation. Many people notice the first changes after 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. For meaningful results, we recommend taking it for at least 8 to 12 weeks.

Which is better: powder or capsules?
Both have their uses. Powder is suitable for cooking and as a spice. Capsules offer the advantage of a standardized dosage. You know exactly how much curcumin you are taking. High-quality capsules also contain piperine for better absorption.
